For years I've sought out this man... the Church He pastored in New Haven used to pick us up for summer camp. It was so infecteous that it made wan to return the church for sunday school. I always wondered why that these "white people" cared so much for us inner city kids. Thye also proved jobs for the teens as camp counselors. Some children even went to penselvania for a few weeks out of the summer.
These were seeds toward my salvation. I will always be forever grateful. For the love and compassion. The pastor had shared with us. I am now a pastor myself. What I learned through this mighty man of God ipmacted my life.
For Years I struggled to remember his name. I may not have remembered his name, But I remembered his work. The Van drive who picked us up was named Ivan. I also remembered one of the Sunday school teachers called her Mrs. Esbenshay...(Laughing) That's howe we pernounced it!
Whenever I tell my story toward receiving Jesus Christ as my Savior I tell of my experiecne with this Mennonite Church and the work of this pastor.
Recently on Facebook I asked if anybody know who was the pastor of the The New Haven Mennonite Church between 1976-77. Someoe who is presently conected replied with the Name: Rev. Adam Esbenshade! Excited I yelled That's it! They Called Him ADAM! Idecided to do internet search to get a picure of this great man, and perhaps were he might be. My heart was sadden to know that he had passed on... But then I know of his where he is! Praise God!
I want his family, friends, or may read this that his work goes on through me. He has indeed set a high standard that I only hope to approach. we are a small church, and new at that, but I know of what what seed of love can do.
Thank you for lending him to us!
Most Sincerley,
